WARM ROMANCE ( with small light sources )

We didn't have a studio, so we used a small bedroom. The walls were all white which helped with bounce, but made decent contrast tough to achieve. By smashing a backlight from top right I at least had a strong edge separating the couple from the white background. I also let the top/back light flair the lens and in addition, had a broken glass filter in front of the lens which was being hit by a flashlight helping with extra flairs and adding to the mood :) You'll also notice that Olympia's face is being nicely illuminated by some bounce from Maurice's white singlet. All intentional of course ;)
